Aborted Announce New Album/Homage to 1986 Cult Classic, TerrorVision

Aborted, one of like three death metal bands that it seems as though everyone more or less agrees on, have posted the following announcement:

“We have some exciting news to share with you all – as many of you know, we entered the studio to start the recording of our new studio album which will be called ‘TerrorVision.’ Expect nothing less than brutal death metal on the highest level, enriched by the dark melodic twist of our latest EP, ‘Bathos.’ ‘TerrorVision’ is set to be released on September 21, 2018 via Century Media Records.”

Adds vocalist Sven de Caluwé:

“So here we are, at it again. We just spent a little over two weeks recording the follow up to ‘Retrogore,’ entitled ‘TerrorVision’ at the mighty Kohlekeller Studio in Germany. Tracking is coming to its end, and it’s been a record we poured a ton of work in over the last year or so. This is actually the first record we were able to do full pre-productions for and had Kohle involved in with since the beginning, and let me tell you, the result is there. We all feel very proud and strongly about how this beast is shaping. Get ready for the most ambitious, varied and brutal Aborted record so far. Kohle has been pushing us beyond the limit of what we have ever done and stuff is sounding massive; always a pleasure to have him involved.”

Although nobody mentions it specifically, given Aborted’s love of old horror movies and the identical space-free spelling (of which MetalSucks is definitely a fan), it seems safe to assume that TerrorVision, the title if not the actual music, is an homage to the 1986 cult classic of the same name. Which, incidentally, has a rad metalhead character.

As a kid, I found that creature crazy-scary; even now, I find it way creepier than most modern creature designs. I think some of that has to do with the fact that it’s a physical puppet and not CGI; the tangibility of it adds to the ickiness. Also, its face.

ANYWAY. TerrorVision. Backed hard.

In addition to that exciting news, the band also announced new European tour dates with Cryptopsy, Benighted, and Cryotoxin. You can grab those below. They’ll be in tour in North America this spring as part of the Devastation on the Nation Tour with Psycroptic, Ingested, Disentomb, Arkaik, Venom Prison, Signs of the Swarm and Vale of Pnath; get dates here.

You definitely cannot watch an illegal 1080p rip of TerrorVision at the bottom of this post.
